Scorpio mobile advergame, the Reliance award for ‘TeachMe-Hindi’, one of the earliest m-learning
apps and the ‘Best Game’ award for Truck Tycoon in the strategy genre at the E3 USA , the world’s
largest game expo held annually in Los Angeles. Tinfo Mobile was the first company from India to
develop a E3 winner.

At Tandem, Jayadev scaled the business to a network of forty brick-and-mortar centres covering
test-prep, technology and skills-related courses. Post acquisition, he oversaw a network of hundred
retail and institutional centres with the new Edurite Learning Centre business registering a
four-fold growth in two years.

Jayadev was the first entrepreneur from his home state of Kerala to be featured in CNBC’s Young
